I wouldn't waste time with GS honestly. Just stick to scythe. The damage output is way better, but keep a great sword handy for procs.

+14~% crit rate, coupled with far superior raw damage WS based on STR mod, when DRK has better STR/atk options than INT/atk ones?
I have INT merits and even I'm not going around toting that Apocalypse is better for pure damage over Ragnarok. Both viable on some things, sure. Both able to do respectable damage, ok. But apocalypse being better than Ragnarok at the moment for damage, no.
Apocalypse does shine very brightly in a few niche things, the Odin II fight being one of them (if you are a main DD on Odin) as you are constantly getting dispelled so the AM is a bit more valuable.
Low manning things, running off on your own during nyzul, Ballista, doing missions, soloing any-mob that won't one shot you. But when it comes to pure max buffed DEEPS they aren't even close, especially when both are pushed to their max potential.
Resolution is just too good.
